The Balboa Park Community Advisory Committee is responsible for advising a number of public agencies making improvements to the Balboa Park Station area. These agencies include the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the San Francisco Planning Department, the Department of Public Works (DPW), the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The BPCAC will meet periodically to provide feedback and ensure that staff is delivering improvements that are timely and of high benefit to the community.

The Van Ness Business Advisory Committee is made up of representatives from a diverse cross-section of Van Ness Project Corridor businesses. Members act as the voice of the community and provide recommendations and advice on how staff can best work with local businesses during construction of the Van Ness Corridor Transit Improvement Project to bring out the character that has made this vital thoroughfare one of the city’s grand avenues. Members of the public may address the Van Ness Business Advisory Committee on matters that are within its jurisdiction and are not on today’s calendar.

Valencia serves as a major north-south bike route for those who live, work, visit and travel through the neighborhood. As the street has become more popular, the city has heard increasing community concern about traffic safety and congestion. Ride-hailing services and commercial vehicles are frequently double-parking in the bike lane, posing safety concerns for all who travel on Valencia Street.

The SFMTA is currently undergoing a planning process to better understand biking concerns around traffic safety, curb management and enforcement. Join us at an upcoming workshop to provide your feedback on potential design alternatives, associated tradeoffs and near-term curb management improvements.

Our Meeting Round-Up feature highlights different SFMTA public meetings that will be held within the coming week. These meetings give you the chance to share your ideas and provide us with helpful feedback. Join us at our next meeting to learn more about SF's changing and complex transportation system.
